Camarillo

Camarillo ranks among the county’s most family-friendly communities. The atmosphere is unmistakably suburban. Situated on the Oxnard Plain, along US Highway 101, it’s home to about 66,000 residents, and the housing stock consists of single-family homes and condos.

It’s become a magnet for tech companies, retailers, and various businesses due to its educated workforce, sleek industrial buildings, and the efficient process in obtaining a business permit.

But Camarillo isn’t all work and no play – Old Town on Ventura Boulevard is filled with vintage stores, galleries, and restaurants serving Italian and American cuisine. The Camarillo Hospice Certified Farmers’ Market takes place here on Saturdays.

Camarillo Premium Outlets, a premier shopping destination, features designer brands like Ralph Lauren, Tory Burch, and Coach. There’s an on-site IMAX movie theater and a number of restaurants.

The Ranch House, a historic site, is a popular tourist attraction. Local wineries like Camarillo Custom Crush and Millésimé Cellars hold tastings and other events.

The Spanish Hills Country Club and Sterling Hills Golf Club boast designer golf courses and state-of-the-art facilities.
